Mainframe case study

During this five-day ABIS workshop, participants will develop a complete mainframe application. This training will provide them with a real life project, which they will work on in groups.

After having taken a series of basic mainframe courses, it will be necessary to put this knowledge into practice. Therefore, we offer the following case study.

Participants will learn to

  • analyse and develop a practical application system;
  • resolve problems independently;
  • apply their time efficiently;
  • handle time pressure and time management;
  • present the result to the group.

Schedule a training?

Delivered as a live, interactive training – available in-person or online, or in a hybrid format. Training can be implemented in English, Dutch, or French.

Public training calendar

No public sessions are currently scheduled. We will be pleased to set up an on-site course or to schedule an extra public session (in case of a sufficient number of candidates). Interested? Please let us know.

Intended for

Application developers who are willing to obtain practical experience in a mainframe environment.

Background

In this integrated case study, the knowledge and experience obtained during the mainframe fast track is applied. The applied knowledge is:

  • TSO, ISPF and (optionally) IDz for the definition of programs, the creation of test elements, the set-up of data sets ...
  • JCL and JES for the preparation of the programs and execution in the batch environment
  • CICS for the interactive testing of the applications
  • Db2 as database back-end

These courses are presumed as prerequisite.

You can test for yourself to see whether you have sufficient background by filling out the online self-tests

Main topics

  • In this course all aspects of on-line and batch programming for the design and the set-up of applications in a database environment will be thoroughly treated.
  • An invoice system has to be adapted in order to insert new elements.
  • These elements are restored in a database; finally they are applied to produce new invoices.

Training method

The participants work in small groups, coached by a professional. The different stages of the project are presented; they are independently treated by the participants. Professional support is offered.

Certificate

At the end of the session, the participant receives a "Certificate of Completion".

Duration
